We all heard the bad. Can't be all bad. I wonder if there was a sector that had seen a big boost since brexit and not just due to less competition but due to genuine improved efficiency.

Isn't this missing the forest for the trees? EU as a whole has been crushed by US post 2009, to zoom in and say "recent trend bad!" is really missing the meta issue.

can you explain this a bit more? how it's relevant for the topic?
